case but to

about the Jail tonight are densely packed.
Beyond keeping them about hall q block
back, no efforts ave been made to
dispense them. On Market street about
one hundred men are marching up and

arm. The mob appears so far to have no
leader, and seemed to be watching out OF
curiosity for something to burn up. The
police and militia are determined to defend
the Jail, and if an attempt be made
HERE WILL BE BLOoDsHED.
Jennie Bowman is still suffering intensely.
Three doctors say there is no hope for her
recovery.
IL D. m.-Soldiers have just been marched
from the armory to the Jail, and are now
stationed there. Calling gums are also on
hand. Ten thousand people are surging to
and fro on Jefferson street, but so far good
order prevails.

The Train Robbers Spotted.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 29.-Benson, Ari-
IONA. Intelligence has been received that
the train robbers have been spotted and
it will only be a question of time before
they be captured. Officers do not wish to
mase an immediate arrest for fear suffic-
lent evidence cannot be procuredto convict.
United States Marshal Mead has tele-
graphed the mail authorities at Washing
ton urging them to offer an additional
large reward which, if the request is com
piled with, will almost insure their capture
and quick conviction. It is now reported
that a special officer has been in Ell Paso
for several days expecting the robbery to
take place in that locality, being fore
warned by outsiders who got an inkling OF
the fact that an attempt would be made
somewhere on the line Of the road, but the
robbers took time by the forelock, showing |
unusual sagacity in making the raid in
this vicinity, where hardly any one sus-
pected such an affair would take place.
